Christopher Bowe and Isabella Channell, who acted as Joseph of Arimathea and the Blessed Mother Mary, respectively, surround Padien. From left, Jeremy Beecher plays Centurion Antonius, while Emily Silvia, Sarah Khoury and Brianna Williams mourn Jesus’ death. Silvia and Williams performed as the Women of Jerusalem, Khoury was Veronica, who wiped the face of Jesus in the sixth station.

THE VEIL OF VERONICA: Khoury holds up a recreation of The Veil of Veronica. Catholics believe that when Veronica assisted Jesus, his image was imprinted on the cloth.

In a dramatic presentation at their church located at 111 Long Street, St. Rose of Lima School’s class of 2012 performed an interpretation of the Stations of the Cross Friday evening. With the help of the parish choir, eighth graders gave a powerful reenactment of Jesus’ walk to Calvary in 14 vignettes, including the fifth station, in which Simon of Cyrene, played by Jacob Clark, helped Christ carry the cross. Linden Padien played Jesus.
